Market research company Fuji Keizai is predicting the global market for solar cells will grow 27% annually until 2012, when it supposedly will reach a size of $42.5 billion. In 2007, the market was worth $10.9 billion.
Fuji Keizai calculated that polycrystalline silicon solar cells accounted for 90% of the market in 2007 but says the importance of silicon in the use of solar cells will gradually decrease over the next 4 years. The market segment for thin-film silicon solar cells in particular is expected to grow nearly 10 times from 2007 to 2012.
The research company also found out that the influence of Japanese manufacturers is shrinking and that production in the US, Germany, India, China and Taiwan is picking up steam. Fuji Keizai singles out First Solar of the US as one of the most important future players in the global solar cell market. First Solar currently has production facilities in the USA and Germany and plans to open a factory in Malaysia soon.

IN THIS YEAR; TURKEY PARLIAMENTS GOT A NEW LAW ABOUT RENEWABLE ENERGY PROMOSSION…
IT IS SUCH AS BELOW;
IF THE SOLAR ENERGY PROJECT OWNER BUY THE EQUIPMENTS SUCH AS PANNELS AND OTHERS, GOVERNTMENT WILL BUY THE ELECTRICITY ABOUT 0,30 EURO/CENT…ANYWAY WE ARE PRODUCING ENERGY BY HYDRO NOW BUT GOVERNMENT IS BUYING THE ELECTRICITY ABOUT 0,07 EURO/CENT…
WHAT IS THE SUBJECT;
IF THE SOLAR ENERGY OWNER USE THE MADE IN TURKEY EQUIPMENTS SUCH AS PANNEL AND OTHERS; GOVERNTMENT PROMOSSION WILL BE EFFECTED IN THAT TIME; OTHERWISE IF WE IMPORT THE EQUIPMENTS GOVERNMENT WILL CONTINUE SAME PRICE 0,07 EURO/CENT…
OUR OPINION; IN 2009 OCTOBER, SOLAR RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT OWNERS WILL BE STARTED THE GIVING ORDERS ABOUT EQUIPMENTS, PANNELS ETC TO ABROAD…
WE WANT TO PRODUCING THE EQUIPMENTS AND PANELS IN TURKEY…BUT TURKEY HASNT GOT ENOUGH TECHNOLOGY AND EXPERINCE ENGINEERS…
NOW WE HAVE LAND, CAPITAL AND LOCAL SUPPORT ABOUT MARKETING FOR THIS INVESTMENT…
NOW WE NEED THE SERIOUSLY SOLAR PANNEL MANUFACTURER FOR JOINVENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP ABOUT ESTABLISHING THE PANNEL FACTORY IN TURKEY…

Dear Mr. Ali Tekerek,
It’s my pleasure to know and contact you.
We are a large-scaled manufactory specializing in solar cells and panels mainly at present, with it’s factory under second construction aiming to launch into the entire solar system. You are welcomed to visit our company if you are in China as seeing is believing. By the way, will you attend Canton Fair hold this October? Please kindly advice.
We shall set down everything for huge amount and especially price when we meet almost everything clear, which will be responsible for both parties. We are sure that we would come to win-win for our cooperation in this newly developing hi-tech industry.
